Description
Full Length Play / This startlingly modern tale about attempted murder and a woman's revenge concerns a husband who discovers evidence that his wife has been unfaithful. He abandons her on a desert isle, expecting her to die. But she escapes and returns three years later disguised as a man. She manages to have herself appointed judge and promptly brings her husband to trial for the murder of his wife. Keeping certain conventions of the genre, such as the commedia dell' arte inspired comedy, the play focuses on the very serious questions of justice and revenge. It features a superb leading actress breeches role and a coup de theatre ending. (Cast: 4m., 3w. total 7) - from Amzon
